Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Salmon
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help achieve a nice sear.
- 2
Season the Fillets
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Rub the seasonings into the fish gently.
- 3
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up for about 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Sear the Salmon
Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- 5
Flip and Cook
Gently flip the fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 6
Add Fresh Lemon
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon fillets right before serving to enhance the flavor.
